Silence and Manipulation in Geopolitical Narratives

The US potentially sabotaged an early end to the war in Ukraine by refusing to provide security guarantees, opting instead to use Ukraine as a tool to weaken Russia, rather than genuinely defending it. The US is focused on its goal of weakening Russia, as evidenced by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's truthful remark being reprimanded by President Biden. Additionally, the US prevented an early peace deal between Ukraine and Russia by withholding security guarantees, even though the US claims to support Ukraine's entry into NATO, which could serve as a security guarantee in itself. This reveals a deep-seated manipulation in international relations, where actions are driven by strategic interests rather than genuine alliances or peace efforts.
